Definitions

  • This invention relates to telecommunication systems and, more particularly, to a method of monitoring calls in an Internet Protocol (IP)-based network.
  • IP Internet Protocol
  • PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
  • PLMN Public Land Mobile Network
  • a gateway For IP calls that originate in a circuit-switched network, a gateway provides an interface between the circuit-switched network and the packet-switched IP network.
  • the gateway takes bits of digitized voice, packetizes them, puts on a header, and ships them over the EP network.
  • the packetized call may enter the core IP network at any access (edge) router near the originating subscriber. Thereafter, the individual packets follow any available route to the destination address. At that point, all of the packets exit the core network through a single access router near the destination subscriber.
  • both the calling terminal and the called terminal are IP-based. Since one or both of the subscribers involved in the call may be mobile, calls between the same subscribers may enter and leave the IP network through different access routers at different times.
  • law enforcement L, agencies are not able to monitor real-time IP applications such as Voiceover-IP (VoIP) calls.
  • VoIP Voiceover-IP
  • IP Internet Protocol
  • the present invention is a method of monitoring a call from a mobile terminal (MT) in an IP-based network having a Gatekeeper that controls the network, a plurality of access routers that provide access to the network, and a Monitoring Station having monitoring facilities and a database of MTs to be monitored.
  • the method includes the steps of sending an access request from the MT to the Gatekeeper, sending a query from the Gatekeeper to the Monitoring Station asking whether the MT is to be monitored, and sending a reply from the Monitoring Station to the Gatekeeper indicating that the MT is to be monitored and providing an IP address where monitored packets are to be sent.
  • the access router detects a packet associated with the MT, the router sends all packets associated with the MT to the Monitoring Station.
  • the RNC When the monitored MT is handed off from a first base station to a second base station, and each of the base stations is controlled by a single Radio Network Controller (RNC), the RNC sends a monitoring request to the second base station.
  • the monitoring request identifies the MT to be monitored, instructs the second base station to monitor the MT, and provides a unique call identification (Call ID) and the IP address where monitored packets are to be sent.
  • the unique Call ID is assigned by the Gatekeeper.
  • the RNC also sends a notification to the Gatekeeper that the MT is being served by the second base station, and includes the unique Call ID and a new transport address for the MT, if any.
  • the method When the monitored MT is handed off from a first base station controlled by a first RNC to a second base station controlled by a second RNC, and both RNCs are in a single Gatekeeper domain, the method performs the steps of sending identifying information regarding the MT being monitored from the first RNC to the second RNC, and sending a monitoring request from the second RNC to the second base station, the request identifying the MT to be monitored, instructing the second base station to monitor the MT, and providing the unique Call ID and the IP address where monitored packets are to be sent.
  • the second RNC also sends a notification to the Gatekeeper that the MT is being served by the second base station, and includes the Call ID and the new transport address for the MT. Whenever there is a change to the transport address of the MT, the Gatekeeper forwards the Call ID and the new transport address to the Monitoring Station.
  • the method When the monitored MT is handed off from a first base station controlled by a first RNC in a first Gatekeeper domain, to a second base station controlled by a second RNC in a second Gatekeeper domain, the method performs the steps of sending a notification from the first RNC to the second RNC that the MT is being monitored, and sending a monitoring request from the second RNC to the second base station.
  • the monitoring request identifies the MT to be monitored, instructs the base station to monitor the MT, and provides the unique Call ID and the IP address of a Monitoring Station where monitored packets are to be sent.
  • the second base station then begins sending media packets having the MT address as a source address or destination address to the Monitoring Station.
  • the second RNC sends the unique Call ID it received and a new transport address for the MT to the second Gatekeeper.
  • the second Gatekeeper forwards this information to the Monitoring Station. This is followed by sending an access request from the MT to the second Gatekeeper, and allocating bandwidth to the MT by the Gatekeeper.
  • the present invention is a method performed within a Gatekeeper in an IP-based network.
  • the method monitors a call from an MT and routes the monitored call to a Monitoring Station having monitoring facilities and a database of MTs to be monitored.
  • the method includes the steps of receiving in the Gatekeeper, a network access request from the MT, sending a query from the Gatekeeper to the Monitoring Station asking whether the MT is to be monitored, and receiving in the Gatekeeper, a reply from the Monitoring Station indicating that the MT is to be monitored and providing an IP address where monitored packets are to be sent.
  • This is followed by sending a monitoring request from the Gatekeeper to the access router that is associated with the monitored MT and is providing access to the network.
  • the request identifies the MT to be monitored, instructs the access router to send any packets associated with the MT to the Monitoring Station, and provides the unique Call ID and the IP address where monitored packets are to be sent.

  • Gatekeeper which is used herein refers to both an H.323 Gatekeeper and a SIP proxy server and registry.
  • reference to an H.245 address herein also refers to a SIP address.
  • IP telephony terminals In a typical IP network, PC clients or IP telephony terminals (fixed or mobile) are identified and addressed by an e-mail address (proxy/alias), or an IP address, or both. Prior to making any calls, such terminals register with a Gatekeeper in an H.323 network, or with a SIP proxy server in a SIP network. If the registration is accepted by the Gatekeeper, the Gatekeeper handles incoming calls to the terminal as well as outgoing calls from the terminal. The Gatekeeper maintains a subscriber profile that includes, among other things, the services to which the subscriber is entitled. For simplicity, the term “mobile terminal (NM)” is used herein to refer generically to IP clients, both fixed and mobile since the most challenging monitoring tasks involve intra-domain and inter-domain handoff of MTs.
  • NM mobile terminal
  • FIG. 1 is an illustrative drawing of an IP network 10 modified in accordance with the teachings of the present invention to monitor a call between two IP terminals.
  • IP Terminal- 1 11 which may be originating a call, is connected to the IP network through Access Router- 1 12 .
  • Media traffic (i.e., data) 13 is carried by independent paths through the network In to Access Router- 2 14 through which IP Terminal- 2 15 has accessed the network.
  • IP Terminal- 2 may be the terminating (destination) terminal.
  • Control signaling between the two subscribers is carried in a control plane 16 which passes through a Gatekeeper 17 , and from the Gatekeeper to a Monitoring Station 18 which may be operated by a law enforcement agency.
  • the Gatekeeper 17 which can be likened to a mobile switching center (MSC) in a circuit-switch switched network.

  • the Gatekeeper is the brain of the network regarding the routing of calls.
  • the Gatekeeper manages the bandwidth (with the help of other network entities), generates the accounting data, etc.
  • the calling and called subscribers are within the same domain.
  • an Admission Request (ARQ) message (when using H.323) is sent to the Gatekeeper.
  • ARQ Admission Request
  • the Gatekeeper allocates the bandwidth for the call or, if none is available, the Gatekeeper denies the call.
  • the present invention extends the procedure performed by the Gatekeeper when a bandwidth allocation request (i.e., ARQ) is received from a device that is originating or receiving a call. Additionally, new mandatory parameters are introduced in the ARQ message.
  • the Gatekeeper does not know which subscribers need to be monitored. Only the law enforcement Monitoring Station has this information.
  • the Monitoring Station includes a database of all subscribers who should be monitored for security reasons. So for each call that is originated by or terminated to a subscriber in its domain, the Gatekeeper queries the Monitoring Station to determine whether the subscriber should be monitored.
  • FIG. 2 is a message flow diagram illustrating the flow of messages when setting up a call for monitoring in the IP network of FIG. 1 in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.
  • IP Terminal- 1 11 is the subscriber to be monitored.
  • the Gatekeeper 17 After Terminal- 1 sends an ARQ message 21 to the Gatekeeper 17 , the Gatekeeper performs the bandwidth allocation function at 22 , and then sends a monitor query message 23 to the Monitoring Station 18 .
  • the monitor query message includes the H.245 source address and the H.245 destination address for the call, if available, as well as subscriber addressing information (e-mail/proxy) and the unique Call ID that it generates for the call.
  • the Monitoring Station checks the database at 24 and returns a monitor reply message 25 to the Gatekeeper indicating whether any of the parties in the call should be monitored, as well as the IP address of the Monitoring Station to which the monitored conversation should be sent.
  • the message indicates that Terminal- 1 is to be monitored. If none of the terminals is being monitored, the Gatekeeper then returns an Admission Confirm (ACF) message 26 to Terminal- 1 . If any of the subscribers is being monitored, the Gatekeeper sets a flag in the subscriber record at 27 indicating that fact.
  • ACF Admission Confirm
  • the Gatekeeper finds, through normal IP routing protocols, the path for the media to follow.
  • the Gatekeeper obtains this information in the course of allocating bandwidth since the policy related to the QoS of the call must be downloaded to all of the routers in the media path.
  • the routers in this case, act as policy enforcement points to ensure that the subscribers are respecting the QoS agreements.
  • the Gatekeeper identifies only the access router associated with IP Terminal- 1 .
  • the Gatekeeper is able to identify the access router for this call.
  • the Gatekeeper then sends a Monitoring Request message 28 to the access router associated with the subscriber (for example, Access Router- 1 ), and includes the Monitoring Station IP address and the unique Call ID for that call.
  • Access Router- 1 sends back an Acknowledgment message 29 .
  • the Gatekeeper receives the Acknowledgment message from the Access Router, the Gatekeeper sends an ACF message 31 to Terminal- 1 .
  • the EP address to be monitored is the source address in the IP header while the monitored subscriber is initiating the conversation, and is the destination field in the IP header while the monitored subscriber is listening.
  • the Access Router performs its normal routing functions, it has to monitor both the source and the destination addresses in the IP headers that it handles in order to identify addresses that match the monitored address.
  • Media packets then begin to flow from the IP Terminal to Access Router- 1 at 32 , and Access Router- 1 sends the packets to the Monitoring Station at 33 .
  • the Access Router encapsulates every identified packet with a new header that includes the router's address as the source address, and the Monitoring Station's address as the destination address.
  • the unique Call ID is also included in the IP header. This enables the Monitoring Station to correlate packets belonging to the same conversation. Other parameters may be included in the header as well.
  • the Monitoring Station strips away the header and recovers the original packets. When the call is cleared, the connection from the access router to the Monitoring Station is also cleared.
  • the calling and called subscribers are in different domains.
  • two different Gatekeepers must deal with the calling and called subscribers. Additional information must be exchanged between the Gatekeepers as part of the call setup for the management and coordination of monitoring a call. Otherwise, both Gatekeepers may end up monitoring the same call.
  • the originating Gatekeeper will likely not know the IP address of the destination.
  • the originating Gatekeeper follows the same procedure previously described.
  • the query that the originating Gatekeeper sends to the Monitoring Station includes only the calling subscriber identity. If the calling subscriber is not the one being monitored, then the originating Gatekeeper returns an ACF message and proceeds with normal call setup. During the setup, the originating Gatekeeper forwards to the Gatekeeper that deals with the destination terminal, a special flag informing the destination Gatekeeper that the calling subscriber is not the one being monitored.
  • the destination Gatekeeper follows the previously described procedure, including the monitoring procedure, when the called terminal sends an ARQ message to accept the incoming call.
  • the originating Gatekeeper follows the same procedure described previously when it receives an ARQ message from the calling subscriber.

  • the destination Gatekeeper follows the same procedure previously described when the called terminal sends an ARQ message to accept the call, but bypasses the monitoring procedure.
  • the originating Gatekeeper receives only the destination IP address as part of the call setup procedure. Therefore, the originating Gatekeeper must send a second Monitoring Request Message to the Access Router to convey the destination IP address.

  • PSTN Terminal a circuit-switched network
  • PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
  • the call goes through a Gateway 44 to the IP subscriber in the IP network.
  • the subscriber to be monitored is on the PSTN side, then existing procedures in the PSTN ensure that monitoring takes place. However, if the subscriber to be monitored is on the IP side, the procedure described previously is invoked when the called subscriber (to be monitored) sends an ARQ message to the Gatekeeper to accept an incoming call.
  • the ARQ message sent to the Gatekeeper from the Gateway 44 includes a flag to indicate whether an incoming call is already being monitored from the PSTN side.
  • the Gatekeeper then bypasses the monitoring procedure.
  • the PSTN of course, must convey this information to the Gateway so that it can be passed to the Gatekeeper.
  • Integrated Services User Part (ISUP) signaling is extended to carry this information.
  • specialized control messages can convey the information to the Gateway from the entity that is coordinating the monitoring in the PSTN. In all cases, the globally unique Call ID must be transferred to uniquely identify the impacted call.
  • Mobility adds another level of complexity to the task of IP monitoring due to the potential changing of the point of attachment of the MT to the network.
  • the base stations serve as Access Routers since they are the closest point of attachment to the subscriber.
  • Gatekeepers do not communicate directly with base stations since base stations belong to the Radio Access Network (RAN). Therefore, the Gatekeepers must go through the Radio Network Controller/Base Station Controller (RNC/BSC) that controls these base stations for all requests to the base stations regarding the monitoring of subscribers.
